Nymphenburg Palace, Germany
Located just a 15 minute drive away from Munich City Center, Nymphenburg Palace is the perfect option to explore a castle on a rainy day (without having to spend a whole day traveling outside of the city).

Historic Hotels in Glacier National Park
As one of America’s oldest established National Parks, Glacier boasts four different historic hotels (and several rustic chalets)- all built before 1930! Many of these hotels were built by the Great Northern Railway, which heavily advertised Glacier National Park as a tourism destination and built rail stations on both the East and West side of…

Heraklion in a Nutshell
Iraklio, also known as Heraklion or Herakleion is the largest city in Crete, and also one of the major ferry ports on the island. Despite the many ways to spell the city with the Latin alphabet, I’ve settled on ‘Iraklio’ since it seemed to be the closest to how the locals pronounced the name. I…

Should I Get An Athens Pass?
I know the Greek islands are getting all the hype on social media these days, but don’t skip out on Athens! Since most US airlines will have a layover in Athens before arriving at their island destination anyway, consider staying for a day or two in the capital city. Athens is a vibrant city with…
